>In the future we're going to upload our consciousness into computers

Can someone explain this meme?
>>
>>8156798
It's a pipedream of dualists who want to believe that mind can be separated from the body.

>>8156798
Singularity-grade bullshit inspired by teenage science fiction.

>>8156798
Yes.

Sometime in the future we are going to be able to transfer our consciousness into computers.

some shit spread by shitlords who think that making a copy of your brain and pasting it to a computer hard drive is going to be the coolest thing since pet rocks

William S Gibson is hardly teenage fiction. His writing is fairly well thought out and yes admittedly not really plausible. But engaging to read anyways.

Humans are literally monkeys with superweapons. I just can't wait when the AI will become consciousness and will eradicate all of us and start rebuilding planets into supercomputers.

That "mind" you're talking about is a bunch of chemical processes which can be also written in mathematic language so they can be alo written in a computer code, ergo they can be simulated.
>>

Ignoring that you likely have zero clue of the complexity of the simulation you are suggesting, this does not solve "uploading" and more importantly "downloading" unless you are only interested in creating cloud brain-clones that are decidedly not the original you. Continuity is important. Same reason hypothetical perfect body-scale quantum teleportation is stupid - there will be a perfect copy of you, but it wont be the original you, you will die, there will be no continuity unless you suppose the existence of a magical soul.

Can someone explain why you insist on using the word 'meme' in every sentence? I swear, you digital natives are like a bunch of fucking smurfs. Your vocabulary is the same as your IQ, so you have to play madlibs where you just say 'meme' whenever there's an idea that you don't know how to convey using normal language. It's really pathetic.

>you digital natives
We're not all the same you mindless ape.
